In Indonesia there is a wide variety of fresh and local tropical fruit. Many are fruit that we pay a premium for in Oregon but here are fairly inexpensive. Recently we tried dragon fruit, snake fruit and star fruit.
You can buy fresh fruit and produce in the supermarket, traditional market or from any number of roving fruit vendors that traverse the streets of most neighborhoods.
Dragon Fruit – Buah Naga

The dragon fruit comes from a variety of cactus species and has a red scaly appearance.
Snake Fruit – Salak
The snake fruit is appropriately named as it has a scaly outer skin that resembles a snake.
Star Fruit – Belimbing

The star fruit has a waxy exterior and when cut looks like a star or as my kids say, like Patrick from Sponge Bob

Star fruit are juicy and sweet with a slight acidity. Every part of the fruit is edible including the seeds.

Love the detailing in the dragonfruit. Sadly I think it is prettier than it is tasty.

Dragonfruit are interesting. I had not heard of them before and then I was surprised to learn they grown on a cactus. I liked them but can see how the taste might not be enjoyed by everyone. The texture is a lot like kiwi. Here we always get the ones with the red centers as they taste better.
